Here are some tips:

Make sure you don’t have any text selected when you forward the email. This may result in only part of the email being forwarded, which won’t work as well.

If the email is only partially downloaded, and you see an alert asking “Download rest of message first?” it’s a good idea to choose “Yes”.

If you’re automatically forwarding emails:

Please keep an eye on what’s happening until you’re certain it’s working correctly, and not sending the same emails over and over. In particular we do not recommend using IFTTT to forward based on Gmail labels—it’s very easy to create an infinite loop. Your account may be blocked if the service receives many emails in a short time that appear to be the same.

If you have the option to “forward” or “redirect”, forward usually works better.

If you set up automatic forwarding from Gmail, the confirmation email should be automatically forwarded back to you.
